Thanks again Gary, I just hope I will be lucky enough to have it act up while I'm there! I modified my B&K CRT tester to always apply the ~400 or so volts to G2 (as well as the cathode) when using Remove Shorts function. I guess they didn't think that G2 shorts ever happen when they designed the tester. So I may as well tap the neck and give it a shot just in case.
